Felt devastated by sudden death of my mother she was just 57,and ailing from innumerable diseases.She was like a friend and had the simplicity of a little girl.

Its a dream in the first half and drags in second half to the point of becoming boring.I think its owing to Aditya Chopra who is one of the two writers.For the second half seems very much like his "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" where you think what's happening? or where is this film going? Sarika as Doctor too is ineffective.Saving grace are the sequences where Shahrukh takes Anushka to meet his old friends.I wonder what prompted Yash Chopra to make this stupid,outlandish and weakly scripted story into a Film,that too his last.Things that make this movie worth a watch are beautiful Katrina Kaif and vibrant and vivacious Anushka Sharma,Its lovely songs penned by Gulzar and a lavish background score by A.R.Rahman.plus its visual splendour.
Besides a boring second half Shahrukh too looks aged in few scenes,it seems like a Shahid Kapoor movie (some what similar to Pankaj Kapur's "Mausam" and his screenplay better than this movie ) that Shahrukh did.Yet its worth seeing once.
Its Bomb disposal scenes would remind you of "The Hurt Locker" Best Picture Oscar winner 2010. It will remind you a lot of "Dil To Pagal Hai" in first half.As Madhuri takes Shahrukh to Aruna Irani's Dance School,Katrina goes to meet her mom Neetu Singh with him.The kiss scene just after that happens in a setting very much like "Dholna" song from "Dil To Pagal Hai".As there was a Karishma "Dance of Envy" here's a Katrina's coming out Dance number "Ishq Shava".
It will also remind you of "Silsila" when Katrina and Anushka meet and Katrina tells her she can never marry him.Its done similar to Rekha and Jaya meeting in "Silsila".
